Lol, Driver's screentime is half as much as Ridley. So much for being co lead.

 So when y'all going?
Day one which might be either the 18th or the 19th for me. So excited, I might go twice in one day - Once in IMAX with Laser and another in Xenon (+ for the collectible posters. Got 3 out of 4 with TLJ)

Yeah, I'm also thinking about going the 18th, bit tight with college and all but it's a possibility.

Luckily for me it’ll be out the weekend before final exams so there are probably no classes on WED/THUR.

But I’m also planning to see Cats and Jumanji so don’t know how that’ll work.

Ridley in TFA probably has the highest percentage of screentime of any actor in a SW film ever.

But Driver was a bigger name beforehand and a much bigger name now so...?

EDIT: Apologies; it is of course Ehrenreich as Solo followed by Christensen in ROTS and then Christensen in AOTC. But she's up there.

Isn’t Felicity in Rogue One right there too?

Driver is not a bigger name at all. Ridley is the popular one, she's the one who's getting all the fan awards, her films are performing much better than Driver. Compare the gross of Orient Express with Logan Lucky.

Natalie Portman was an Oscar winner and a much bigger name than Hemsworth. But who got the first billing for Thor? The fella who played the goddamn lead. That has been the tradition since ever.

They're co-leads, but light side always gets more attention. All of that will change in TROS.

Ridley was pretty bad in Orient Express. I also think you can't really compare a film like Logan Lucky with Branagh's Orient Express and vice versa.

Driver has a much more fruitful career, regardless of BO success.

Right now? Absolutely.
